Diversified industrial manufacturer (NYSE:ETN) today announced
net income per share of $1.33 for the second quarter of 2010. This
compares to net income per share of $0.17 in the second quarter of
2009. Sales in the quarter were $3.38 billion, 16 percent above the
second quarter of 2009. Net income was $226 million compared to $29
million in 2009.
Net income in both periods included charges for integration of
acquisitions. Before these acquisition integration charges,
operating earnings per share in the second quarter of 2010 were
$1.36 compared to $0.23 per share in 2009, and operating earnings
were $232 million compared to $39 million in 2009.
Alexander M. Cutler, Eaton chairman and chief executive officer,
said, “Our earnings in the second quarter substantially exceeded
our expectations for the quarter, driven primarily by stronger end
markets. Our sales in the second quarter were 9 percent higher than
in the first quarter of 2010, reflecting the continued expansion in
our markets around the world. While the debt problems in Europe are
likely to slow the rate of growth in some European markets, and the
rate of economic growth in China has moderated slightly, we
anticipate solid global growth continuing during the second half of
the year.
“Sales in the second quarter increased 16 percent compared to
the second quarter of 2009,” said Cutler. “The 16 percent sales
growth was comprised of 12 percent growth in end markets and 4
percent outgrowth, with no impact from foreign exchange.
“We are pleased with our 12.2 percent segment operating margin
in the second quarter, representing a 1.0 percentage point
improvement over the first quarter,” said Cutler.
“Our operating cash flow for the quarter was $469 million, and
our free cash flow was $405 million,” said Cutler. “We now believe
that our operating and free cash flow for 2010 will be stronger by
$50 million than our previous estimates.
“In light of our strong second quarter results and our improved
outlook for the balance of the year, we are increasing our
quarterly dividend by 16 percent, from $0.50 per share to $0.58 per
share,” said Cutler.
“As we survey our end markets, the year is shaping up to be
better than we had forecast in April,” said Cutler. “We now
anticipate our overall end markets will grow by 8 percent versus
our earlier forecast of 6 percent.
“We anticipate net income per share for the third quarter of
2010 to be between $1.25 and $1.35,” said Cutler. “Operating
earnings per share for the third quarter, which exclude charges to
integrate our recent acquisitions, are anticipated to be between
$1.30 and $1.40. Our outlook anticipates slightly higher sales in
the third quarter over the second quarter, offset by a higher tax
rate.
“We are raising our guidance for the full year. We now
anticipate 2010 net income per share of between $4.75 and $4.95,
and 2010 operating earnings per share of between $4.90 and $5.10.
This full-year guidance includes the recognition of $0.14 per share
of tax expense in the first quarter associated with Medicare Part
D,” said Cutler.
Business Segment Results
Second quarter sales for the Electrical Americas segment were
$894 million, up 1 percent compared to 2009. Operating profits in
the second quarter were $120 million. Excluding acquisition
integration charges of $1 million during the quarter, operating
profits were $121 million, down 17 percent from results in
2009.
“End markets for our Electrical Americas segment declined 2
percent during the second quarter,” said Cutler. “Our late-cycle
non-residential markets declined about 17 percent in the quarter,
while we saw continued growth in our early-cycle businesses and the
start of recovery in our mid-cycle businesses.
“Our bookings in the Electrical Americas segment, adjusted for
foreign exchange, increased 27 percent compared to the second
quarter of 2009,” said Cutler. “We now anticipate markets in our
Electrical Americas segment will decline just 1 percent for the
full year, as the recovery in our early- and mid-cycle markets and
the benefits from stimulus programs have offset the decline in the
non-residential market.
“We were pleased to complete in mid-July the acquisition of EMC
Engineers, an energy engineering and services company based in
Denver that delivers energy efficiency solutions for a wide range
of governmental and commercial customers,” said Cutler.
“During the second quarter, we won a contract to design and
install a turnkey solar photovoltaic system at the New Mexico
Veterans Affairs Health Care System. The scope of the $20 million
contract includes designing and installing a 3.2 megawatt
photovoltaic system throughout the site,” said Cutler.
Sales for the Electrical Rest of World segment were $665
million, an increase of 12 percent compared to the second quarter
of 2009. The sales increase was comprised of a 15 percent increase
in core sales and 1 percent growth from acquisitions, offset by a 4
percent decline due to foreign currency.
The segment reported operating profits of $60 million. Excluding
acquisition integration charges of $7 million during the quarter,
operating profits totaled $67 million compared to $26 million in
the second quarter of 2009.
“Our bookings for the Electrical Rest of World segment, adjusted
for foreign exchange and acquisitions, increased 23 percent in the
quarter,” said Cutler. “Our markets in the second quarter grew 6
percent, with European electrical markets increasing 5 percent and
Asian markets growing 8 percent. For all of 2010, we are
maintaining our forecast that markets in our Electrical Rest of
World segment will grow 6 percent.
“We are pleased with the 10.1 percent operating margin we
achieved in the Electrical Rest of World segment,” said Cutler.
Hydraulics segment sales were $568 million, up 34 percent
compared to the second quarter of 2009. Global hydraulics markets
were up 34 percent in the quarter, with U.S. markets up 40 percent
and non-U.S. markets up 30 percent. Operating profits in the second
quarter were $77 million compared to $14 million in the second
quarter of 2009.
“The global hydraulics markets in the second quarter continued
the strong rebound we saw in the first quarter,” said Cutler. “Our
bookings, adjusted for foreign exchange, increased 69 percent in
the second quarter. We believe hydraulics markets will show further
growth over the balance of the year. As a result, we now believe
global hydraulics markets for all of 2010 will increase by 26
percent, considerably stronger than our previous growth
expectations.
“Our operating margin of 13.6 percent represented a significant
step up from our 11.0 percent margin in the first quarter,” said
Cutler.
“During the quarter we signed a global strategic alliance with
Linde Hydraulics of Germany,” said Cutler. “The strategic alliance
adds important products to our product offerings and capitalizes on
the distribution capabilities of both companies.”
Aerospace segment sales were $370 million, 9 percent below the
second quarter of 2009. Aerospace markets were down 1 percent
compared to the second quarter of 2009.
Operating profits in the second quarter were $48 million.
Excluding acquisition integration charges of $1 million during the
quarter, operating profits were $49 million, a decline of 33
percent compared to the second quarter of 2009.
“Aerospace bookings grew 28 percent during the second quarter,
adjusted for foreign exchange, reflecting improved conditions at
OEs and in the aftermarket,” said Cutler. “We are maintaining our
forecast that the global aerospace market will be down 1 percent in
2010.
“We signed a joint venture agreement in mid-July with a
subsidiary of Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (COMAC) to
design, develop, manufacture, and support fuel and conveyance
systems for the commercial aerospace market, starting with the
COMAC C919 single-aisle program,” said Cutler. “The value of the
C919 conveyance system is estimated at $1.8 billion over the
anticipated 2,500 units to be produced during the life of the
program.
“We also signed a letter of intent in mid-July to supply cockpit
panel assemblies and the dimming control system for the C919
program,” said Cutler. “The total value of the assemblies and
control system is estimated to exceed $425 million over the life of
the program.”
The Truck segment posted sales of $492 million in the second
quarter, up 53 percent compared to 2009. Truck production in the
second quarter was up 28 percent, with U.S. markets up 32 percent
and non-U.S. markets up 24 percent. The segment reported operating
profits of $59 million.
“We expect truck production in the second half to increase
compared to the first half,” said Cutler. “Demand in NAFTA for
Class 8 trucks is beginning to improve, as freight growth and the
aging truck fleet are finally starting to generate an increase in
truck orders. For all of 2010, we now anticipate our Truck markets
will increase by 23 percent, stronger than our earlier
expectations.
“Our margin of 12.0 percent in the second quarter was strong in
light of the still very low NAFTA truck production levels,” said
Cutler.
The Automotive segment posted second quarter sales of $389
million, up 44 percent from the second quarter of 2009. Global
automotive markets were up 34 percent with U.S. markets up 73
percent and non-U.S. markets up 15 percent. The segment reported
operating profits of $39 million.
“Automotive production in the U.S. continued at about the same
level as in the first quarter, as inventory rebuilding continued,”
said Cutler. “We anticipate U.S. production will be slightly lower
in the second half, since inventory levels are now close to normal.
For all of 2010, we now anticipate global automotive markets will
grow by 17 percent, slightly higher than our previous
forecast.”

After-tax charges $ 12 $ 24 Per common share $ .07 $ .14
Charges in 2010 were related primarily to Moeller and
Phoenixtec. Charges in 2009 were related primarily to Integrated
Hydraulics, Kirloskar, Moeller, Phoenixtec and Argo-Tech. These
charges were included in the Statements of Consolidated Income in
Cost of products sold or Selling & administrative expense, as
appropriate. In Business Segment Information, the charges reduced
Operating profit of the related business segment.
Workforce Reduction Charges
Eaton took significant actions in 2009 to reduce its workforce
in response to the severe economic downturn. The reductions totaled
approximately 17% of the full-time workforce. These actions
resulted in the recognition of severance and pension and other
postretirement benefits expense of $69 in the second quarter of
2009 and $134 in the first half of 2009. These charges were
primarily included in the Statements of Consolidated Income in Cost
of products sold or Selling & administrative expense, as
appropriate. In Business Segment Information, the charges reduced
Operating profit of the related business segment.
Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits Expense
Due to limitations imposed by the Pension Protection Act on
pension lump sum distributions, Eaton’s U.S. Qualified Pension Plan
became restricted in 2009 from making 100% lump sum payments. As a
result, the plan experienced a significant increase in lump sum
payments in 2009 before the limitation went into effect. Total
pension settlement expense was $51 in the second quarter of 2009
and $69 in the first half of 2009, most of which was attributable
to the U.S. pension plans. A portion of the increase was
attributable to the workforce reduction in 2009.
As a result of the workforce reduction in 2009, curtailment
expense related to pension plans of $14 was recognized in the
second quarter of 2009 and $18 in the first half of 2009. The
curtailment expense included recognition of the change in the
projected benefit obligation, as well as recognition of a portion
of the unrecognized prior service cost.
These charges were primarily included in the Statements of
Consolidated Income in Cost of products sold or Selling &
administrative expense, as appropriate. In Business Segment
Information, the charges were included in Pension & other
postretirement benefits expense.
Income Taxes
During the second quarter of 2010 and the first half of 2010,
income tax expense of $22 and $53, respectively, was recognized (an
effective tax rate of 9.0% in the second quarter and 12.2% in the
first half of 2010) compared to income tax benefits of $1 and $12
in the second quarter of 2009 and the first half of 2009,
respectively (a tax benefit rate of 4.8% in the second quarter and
36.6% for the first half of 2009). Income tax expense for the first
half of 2010 included a non-cash, one-time charge of $23 ($0.14 per
common share) that was recorded in the first quarter of 2010 to
reflect the impact of the Health Care Reform and Education
Reconciliation Act on taxation associated with Medicare Part D.
Without this one-time charge, income tax expense of $30 (an
effective tax rate of 6.9%) would have been recognized in the first
half of 2010. Income tax expense for the first half of 2010 also
reflected a benefit associated with the successful resolution of
international tax audit issues; the recognition of state and local
income tax attributes involving tax loss carryforwards, tax credits
and other temporary differences; the recognition of international
tax incentives; and the recognition of other international tax
benefits.
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This earnings release discloses operating earnings, operating
earnings per common share, and operating profit (loss) before
acquisition integration charges for each business segment, each of
which excludes amounts that differ from the most directly
comparable measure calculated in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles (GAAP). A reconciliation of each of these
financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is
included in this earnings release in the Comparative Financial
Summary or in the notes to the earnings release. Management
believes that these financial measures are useful to investors
because they exclude transactions of an unusual nature, allowing
investors to more easily compare Eaton's financial performance
period to period. Management uses this information in monitoring
and evaluating the on-going performance of Eaton and each business
segment.
